A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Alexa has just finished her junior year at Tufts University in Boston, and will graduate in the Spring of 2013 with majors in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic. She travelled to Amman, Jordan during the Fall of 2011 to join Middlebury's language-intensive Schools Abroad program, which allowed her the chances to improve her Levantine Arabic and to see first-hand the effects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Jordan. Her curiosity in the conflict began when she met and got to know one of her Arabic teachers, a native of Gaza, whose harrowing story compelled Alexa to learn more. As an intern at ATFP, she looks forward to taking advantage of Washington's incredible academic and cultural outlets and diving into her research project.
